Yo - grunge purists, I know half of these aren't strictly grunge, but at the time, they were all lumped in together. I know I'm being a massive hypocrite, but I'm comfortable with that.


Nooooo probs

It's Shoved would be a more typically grungy song maybe, since Nirvanas ripped it off for 'Milk It'. But Boris is supreme.

If anyone hasn't heard it try and listen to the 'Alive At The Fucker Club' version of Boris. It is supremely heavy.


16. Godbullies - Bullet

17. Cows - My girl


Wrong STP song

'Plush' please x


Tough call.

Real tough call. Vaseline as well.

I don't like STP at all but I can't deny some of their songs.


gluey porch treatments

by the melvins
and superfuzz bigmuff by mudhoney

have to be there


I love that song.

Love it.


In Utero - Nirvana

'Alice In Chains' - Alice In Chains
'Superunknown' - Soundgarden


you can;t have a whole album

on a Now That's What I Call-type album! Unless it's 'Now That's What I Call In Utero by Nirvana'


Blur - 'Song 2'

Nickleback - 'How you remind me'.


Bush - Swallow

Silverchair - Suicidal Dream
Staind - Outside


Oh god yes


I'd choose their cover of

My World is Empty over Debonair for a grunge compilation


love love love that song!

they're doing a new album this year, am so excited :D

Can I add:
Love your money - Daisy Chainsaw
Art of Self Defence - Jesus Lizard
anything by Milk, Lotion or Senseless Things?


Scarce are doing a new album???

How do I not know about this?!?!


10) Agatha - Pond

11) Go Your Own Way - Seaweed


If we're talking about

early-mid 90's MTV-grunge, does "Shine" by Collective Soul count?! I fucking love that song!


'No Rain' - Blind Melon

jam x 10,000,000


Hole - Doll Parts

Babes In Toyland - Bruise Velvet
Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls


Seether!


I can do you my Best Of Sub Pop if you want?

Unfortunately it's a double CD set with my Best Of Chumbawamba, and there will be a test afterwards to check you listened to it ALL.

My Best Of Sub Pop is INCREDIBLE though.


Does anyone want my

'best of amrep'? It will have to be on tape and only mug_mug_mug will like it, but still.


STILL!

I have a new tape walkman. Just FYI.

No Pearl Jam should be on this grunge comp DESPITE the undeniable rich manliness of the Vedder voice.


Best double CD set ever,

surely..

Can I have

xx - Nine Inch Nails - Wish?

I know it's not grunge but if we're having Helmet...


If we have Wish,

we have to have 'Jesus built my hotrod' by Ministry.

OH MAN! GRUNGE DOESN'T GET TOUGHER. THAN THIS!


NONE OF THIS IS GRUNGE!

THIS LADDER OF SEMI-RELATED NONSENSE WILL SEE US END UP AT NORTHERN UPROAR! MARK MY WORDS!


SMASHING PUMPKINS - DISARM

NORTHERN UPROAR - I'VE GOT THE SAME COAT AS NOEL


Should've been

'NTWIC Early to Mid-90s US Alt-Rock'. That gives us a bit more scope.


Agreed.

12ty2 - Butthole Surfers - Who Was In My Room Last Night
12ty3 - Faith No More - Falling To Pieces


BACK TO GRUNGE II - THE GRUNGEINING

Temple of the dog - say hello to heaven


I missread the title as

Now that's what I call Gunge.


I was saddened

to see that gunge has now been classified a dangerous substance. The kids on ToonAttic were wearing full NBC suits, face masks and goggles the other day when they were getting gunged.

That's not getting gunged. Nowhere close.


Chloe Dancer/ Crown Of Thorns

by Mother Love Bone should be on there. Either that or Captain Hi-Top.


^^

Anything Mother Love Bone, really


That one by STP

that really, really, really sounds like Pearl Jam


Monkey Trick

by Jesus Lizard and Rust Never Ending by Therapy?


outshined

Outshined
Outshined
Outshined oooo yeah


Were Superchunk

classed as grunge?

If so, Mower by Superchunk.

If now, put that on the Now That's What I Call 90s Indie Rock compilation.


Touch Me I'm Sick - Mudhoney

Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr
Would? - Alice In Chains
Alive - Pearl Jam
Rhinossoscsosseros - Smashing Pumpkins
Dollar Bill - Screaming Trees
Sliver - Nirvana
This Guy's In Love With You - Burt Bacharach


He'd have had more of an impact

with Generation X had he changed his named to Burt Bacharock.


Kurt Bacharock


Kurt Crackarock?

One for the drugs scene mainly.


MAINLY

But not exclusively.


The

bassist from Westworld used to play with Generation X.

Do Westworld count as grunge?

SONIC BOOM, A-BOOM BOY


You've posted that before, haven't you?

JUDGE_B: RUNNING OUT OF INDIE FACTS SINCE 2005


And I STILL haven't got a clue

what any of it means.


Sonic Boom Boy

HA

A-SONIC BOOM BOOM BOY


I

might put the 7" on eBay. Anyone know how to use eBay? I could do with the £1.27
